Oh man, so I've been following this stuff for a while (local interest, I lived in Burlington for a few years), but these dudes are finally blowing up... Forty years after the fact.
Very cool stuff!

Forgotten except by the most fervent punk rock record collectors — the band’s self-released 1976 single recently traded hands for the equivalent of $800 — Death would likely have remained lost in obscurity if not for the discovery last year of a 1974 demo tape in Bobby Sr.’s attic. Released last month by Drag City Records as “... For the Whole World to See,” Death’s newly unearthed recordings reveal a remarkable missing link between the high-energy hard rock of Detroit bands like the Stooges and MC5 from the late 1960s and early ’70s and the high-velocity assault of punk from its breakthrough years of 1976 and ’77. Death’s songs “Politicians in My Eyes,” “Keep On Knocking” and “Freakin Out” are scorching blasts of feral ur-punk, making the brothers unwitting artistic kin to their punk-pioneer contemporaries the Ramones, in New York; Rocket From the Tombs, in Cleveland; and the Saints, in Brisbane, Australia. They also preceded Bad Brains, the most celebrated African-American punk band, by almost five years.

But that sounded pretty cool and I'd like to hear more. Any linkys to more of their stuff? I liked the last piece that was playing where the vocs started to go into Deep Purple Highway star territory.

Ha ha, that's almost funny.
Lambsbread enjoyed some local popularity in New England.
I had no idea those guys were so proto-punk.

I've never been much of a Schuldinger-Death fan... but the internet tells me this Death is playing at Metallica's Orion fest this year.
